Place a piece of cardboard or newspaper between the layers of the garment so they do not stick together.

Step 2:

Cut out the shapes of a jack-o-lantern face from your black felt: 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

Step 3:

It often helps to lay out all your cut-out pieces before starting to glue.

Step 4:

Glue all of the pieces on the front of the garment. Make sure you allow some time for the glue to dry.

Step 5:

Make sure your shirt dries completely before removing it from the cardboard and wearing it.

Step 6:

Cut out a piece of brown felt that will cover your toilet paper tube, leaving about two inches extra on one end.

Step 7:

Glue brown felt around your toilet paper tube, once again leaving those extra two inches on the end.

Step 8:

Dab some glue on the inside of the overhanging felt.

Step 9:

Scrunch the extra fabric closed, in a twisted "stem" fashion. Be careful if you're using hot glue -- the glue might seep out of the felt!

Step 10:

Cut four slits in the opposite "bottom" end of the T.P. tube to create tabs.

Step 11:

Another angle on our tabs.

Step 12:

Glue two of the tabs onto the top of your headband.

Step 13:

Secure the T.P. tube by gluing the other two tabs on the underside of the headband.

Step 14:

Cut some green leaf shapes from felt, and glue to your "stem!"

Step 15:

Add some green curling ribbon for an added "vine" effect. Allow everything to dry, then wear with pride!
